li-profile

# li-profile A profile is not a resume. A resume answers "what have you done". A profile answers "should I message this person", and it answers it in about four seconds, from the headline and the first two lines of the about. ## Input Ask the user to paste: headline, about section, current role and the last two experience entries, plus whether they have a banner and featured section. A screenshot of the top card is enough for the first pass. Do not log into LinkedIn on their behalf. ## Score it Read `rubric.json` in this folder. Twelve items, 100 points, each with what full marks looks like. Score every item, show the table, and give the total. Be honest - most profiles land in the 30s and 40s on the first pass, and a generous score is useless. ``` PROFILE SCORE 41/100 headline 3/12 job title only, no outcome, no audience about first 2 lines 2/10 opens with "passionate about" about body 4/10 history, not offer featured 0/8 empty banner 0/6 default blue ... ``` ## Then rewrite, in this order Fix in descending order of points lost. Do not rewrite everything at once - the user has to actually paste each of these in. **1. Headline (220 characters).** The formula that works: `{what you do for whom} | {proof} | {how to start}`. Not your job title. Not "Helping X do Y" as the first three words, which every second profile now opens with. Give three options. **2. About, first two lines.** Everything after line 2 is behind "see more" on mobile, so those two lines are the whole about section for most readers. They must state who you help and what changes. No "passionate", no "results-driven", no third-person bio, no opening with your own name. **3. About body.** Written to one reader, in the second person. Structure: the problem they have, what you do about it, one piece of proof with a number, what to do next. Under 1,400 characters even though the limit is 2,600. **4. Featured.** Three items: the best post, the proof asset, the way to contact. An empty featured section is eight points and the only place on the profile you fully control. **5. Experience.** Each role gets one line of scope and two to three bullets that are outcomes with numbers, not duties. Cut anything older than ten years to a single line. **6. Banner.** One sentence of positioning and one way to reach you. The default blue gradient is the clearest signal on the page that nobody is home. ## Output Score table, then the rewrites as copy-ready blocks in fix-first order, each one already run through `/li-human`. Re-score at the end and show the delta honestly - if the rewrite gets to 88 and not 98, say 88, and say what the remaining points need (usually recommendations, a real banner and posting history, none of which a rewrite can create). Nothing is saved to LinkedIn by this skill. The user pastes each section in.
